Anokaa Restaurant in Wiltshire

Stunning vindaloo, beef fell apart and on the return list!

It was a great experience and we genuinely liked it alot. Nice vibes, amazing food. The only thing which was unexpected like how they packed the food. As we ordered food, we didn’t realise it will be very filling. We asked to make the rest as takeaway and the naans were put in a plastic bag which was bit weird but i guess that's how it's done there. But overall, it was good😄

Friday night with friends. We pre-booked a 7pm table but there were a few empty tables, which surprised us as previously this restaurant has been packed. Great service, great menu with some very different dishes, nice to see original dishes instead of the same fare available in all of Salisburys Indian restaurants. After the papadums and pickles I had the juicy Punjabi lamb kebab followed by the King Prawn Amritsari, madras hot with Pilau rice, along with a shared garlic naan and a Saag Bhaji. Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended.

Arrived for a pre theatre dinner and were lucky to get a table. All the staff were polite and attentive. Was so great to see so many vegetarian options. Our food looked beautiful and was delicious- will return!

Easier to find with Google maps on foot, we chanced a sitting for just 2 of us @ 1845 ish on aThursday, and it was quite busy even then (quite early for dinner?), so book to avoid dissapointment.

This is a special place! We were lucky enough to nab a table in this beautiful restaurant and enjoy a fabulous dinner with exceptional service. I think I exclaimed “wow!” several times throughout our experience here! From our delicious starters to memorable main dishes (my husband loved his lamb curry with saffron rice and my seabass with potato and cauliflower was the best seabass dish I’ve ever tasted). The dessert menu looked amazing, but we were very full so opted for a simple but fabulous black current sorbet. If you are anywhere near Salisbury, make a reservation here and experience it all for yourself!

This was the best Indian restaurant we've in, amazing food, great staff and very nice surroundings. Well done and can't wait to visit again.

Great restaurant, slightly more extravagant Indian food but it was exceptionally good! They do still serve the traditional foods too. Had lamb shank and it was amazing! Would highly recommend!

Wow, why can't all Indian cuisine be like this. A variety of alternatives to standard tikka / rogon /balti fare. Exemplary service and fantastic quality. Not cheap but worth it. Only slight criticism is that in an effort of style over functionality the menu is printed gray on gray making it hard to read in the low light. However being the great restaurant it is they provide a tray of reading glasses to assist. Lovely people, can't wait to go back

We have eaten at Anokaa regularly over the years I can honestly say it has excelled on every visit. It is a truly outstanding restaurant. The meals are very well presented and bursting with beautiful and exotic flavours. An evening at Anokaa is an opportunity to experience the true tastes and aromas of the best of Indian cuisine without leaving Salisbury! The servers are extremely smartly dressed in Indian attire and are attentive, efficient and friendly. The decor is modern, cosy and gives one the impression of being in a restaurant in South Asia. This restaurant is a ‘must visit’ for all Indian food aficionados - you will not be disappointed!

An Indian restaurant with something a little extra. We went for the early bird dinner menu and the choices were perfect for our tastes. We could not fault our meals and even squeezed in a dessert from the main menu. Reservations recommended.

Went there spontaneously on a Wednesday without a reservation with 4 people. Super nice service who gave us very good advice and responded to individual requests. The chicken is so tender that it almost falls apart in your mouth! Very delicately seasoned.

This is one fantastic place . The staff where amazing . The food was just out of this world very tasty . The potions where just correct and the price was wonderful . There was 4 of us and with 2 bottles of wine drinks the bill was only 140 that's everything meals drinks tip . Can not ask for more

The decor is high- end and provides a warm and sophisticated dining atmosphere. The chutneys were excellent. My starter of king Prawn with ginger was first rate. The lamb neck curry had a coconut infused sauce with chili. The naan bread - perfect. It was a plus they served zero alcohol Heineken beer. Finally the pitasschio ice cream was very special. I enjoyed the evening catching up on business with an old friend and business associate. Parking was a short walk away £3 for the evening. This wa the most outstanding Indian cuisine I have enjoyed in 30 years. A must to visit this social restaurant. The service is measured and very professional .

Anokaa now has a new, expanded, and very exciting menu. The quality of the food and value for money is truly outstanding. Superb service and decor. A ‘must visit’ for all true Indian food connoisseurs!

I felt a bit under dressed coming here. Normally you don't expect people get dressed up for a joint like this. The decor is quite nice, it is not considered very upscaled, but contemporary. I had some high expectations because the place was packed on a Friday night from 5 to 9. I was hoping for something more progressive, looking at the setup. The drink selection is diverse, there are international and regional selections. The menu is huge, The coconut shrimp and the lamb kebab were just ok for me, same as everywhere else. I ordered Madhur Jaffery's favorite, which is the slow cooked lamb neck. The lamb neck was very tender, the curry flavor was very intense, strong flavor, just a hint of spice, the pomegranate arils were a very nice touch, they really enhanced the curry taste and change your palette. I love it. But the saffron rice was very dry. The same for the white rice in my colleagues Curry Chicken, the curry flavor is quite standard, nothing special. The service was OK, not extraordinary, I had to look for the wait staff and ask for things a few times. I can't say about the other dishes, but overall I think there are a few signature dishes but nothing I haven't had before. Mostly everything else should be pretty normal. You are paying for the ambient and plating really. If I am in the area, I will come here again to try the other dishes. After all, Indian food in England is always a safe bet.

This is the best Indian restaurant I have ever had the privilege to eat in. We arrived as a group of 5 mates to enjoy a good curry, all the recommendations were excellent so we were looking forward to it. Greeted by the charming owner Mohamed we were sat in one of their nice round tables, it could easily have sat 8 but we were 5. All the dishes were amazing. We started with a fish and meet platter which consisted of chicken tikka pieces, onion Baji, spicy prawns and marinated lamb. It was amazing. After popadums with some wonderful accompaniments we then went onto the main courses. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food, I had a cod dish in old Delhi sauce which was amazing. Apparently the chicken madras was outstanding. We also had several naan’s which were great. The service throughout was first class, we had a mixture of cobra and kingfisher beer. I can highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Mohamed and team.

Absolutely amazing beautifully spiced every mouthful an inspiration

Lunch was good though menu is reduced

A fantastic menu and the food is delightful - very tasty and full of flavours. We both had lamb based dishes. Excellent. Service was prompt.

We can't agree with the fantastic reviews. The early evening dinner did not meet our expectations. The starter was good and nicely presented. The main course was served in a soup bowl. It was a uniform paste with no real taste. We know Indian food completely differently. The white wine was bad. The service was good so far.

From the initial welcome to the service to the food, our experience at Anokaa was outstanding. Really some of the best Indian food I've ever tasted, with options way beyond those found in most India restaurants. I can't speak highly enough of Anokaa and I'll return soon.

Service amazing, beautiful restaurant. Best popadoms ive had in a restaurant. I wouldn’t eat the Butter Chicken again though, it was very sweet, quite different from other butter chickens I’ve ordered from other places and wasn’t sure if I liked it. Everyone else went with loved their dishes though.

Stopped here en route to London from Minehead. I didn’t have particularly high expectations as it didn’t look anything special from the outside. However, I was very impressed. As I was pushed for time I only ordered one course (the lamb rogon josh with a pitta bread). I’ve ordered lamb many times before at Indian restaurants and it can often be fatty and tough. This was neither. There was hardly any fat in the meat and it was very tender. You didn’t need a knife to cut it you could simply use a fork. The sauce was very good as well and complemented the lamb well. My only slight disappointment was the rice portion which was a bit on the small size. Other than that I thought it was very good and can recommend visiting.

Food was amazing. Very large portions

THE go to Indian restaurant in Salisbury. Great fine food. Huge portions. Great service. We have been here many times now. Be sure and make a booking. Every item on the menu is great.

Beautiful contemporary Indian food with the service and ambience to match. I've been a few times now but last night's meal was truly special. We made the trip all the way from Bournemouth as I think it's totally worth it! I opted for the prawns to start and the lambs neck curry for my main and both were absolutely delicious and full of flavour, I could have anything from the menu as it's clear each dish has been carefully curated. The beautiful lamb in the curry just fell apart as soon as I touched it with my fork, it was cooked to perfection and very high quality. My fiancé had a korma and that was also delicious, very flavoursome and tender. The service and ambience is also excellent, the staff are all over it and always accommodating and polite if not a little quick to take your plate after you've finished a course but that's a very minor thing in an otherwise excellent experience! If you want to go for an Indian but want something a bit more special and unique Anokaa is an absolute must! Thank you for a memorable birthday meal!

Visited as a party of 6 (pre-booked). Found the food to be tasty, nicely presented and the service was really smooth and efficient. Clean plates all round! Loved the quirky water feature wall art. This was our first visit and won’t be our last. Highly recommend.

One of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been too. Went with a group of friends and all have amazing dishes. Great atmosphere and superb staff.

Last minute booking and it was worth it. Service, ambiance, staff, food 💯 Unfortunately I did not take any photos, but believe me, it's worth it. I highly recommend. Thank you 😊

Best Indian restaurant ever. So good it’s worth the 52 mile round trip. The service food ambience and the gorgeous lamb neck curry is 100% worth it! The poppadoms and the sauces are delightful. The sharing starter platters are a family favourite especially the fish platter.

Absolutely brilliant! Excellent food, superb service and the highlight of the evening was Phil Wedgbrow, the best magician I've ever seen! Must visit.

Such an incredible place to come for a meal. The service was superb and the food just delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Exceptional, extremely tasty and inspired dishes, swift and attentive service. THE place for Indian delicacies in Salisbury.

A welcoming restaurant service fast ( we three the only lunch diners).The two course menu was interesting,starters just the right size ,not too big,the mains choice was good which we enjoyed , puds,ice cream enough said,the coffee was outstanding,before we had finished a member of staff attempted to ask us to pay,one of our party on hearing how much I was enjoying my coffee asked for one which served in a surly manner,as soon as we had finished our coffee the bill was presented and paid,we were then asked to leave as they were closing,I would not recommend this restaurant , there is an authentic restaurant not to far from this one seek it out and enjoy a very different experience.

Very good concept and modernization of Indian cuisine. Very attentive and professional service. Starters were really good, a bit disappointed by the flavors of the mains.

The atmosphere is really nice, the staff are attentive without being overbearing, the food is really, really good. Highly recommended.

Fantastic selection of unusual dishes, including excellent vegetarian options- possibly the best Indian food I've ever had. Service and presentation also excellent. Really couldn't fault anything!

Anokaa has to be the go to restaurant for quality, tasty, well-presented Indian cuisine. It is a cut above the rest. Fabulous, imaginative, innovative food.

My top 3 restaurants I've ever been to in the UK. Go here. The variety of the foods they give you, the flavors and themes they manage to incorporate in every dish, their spectacular service, and their lunch prices are honestly phenomenal. If you are anywhere near here during lunch time, you owe it to yourself to visit. They give you a mint at the end of your meal so don't worry about garlic breath. Oh yeah, they know how to split a bill. It's honestly insane.

Great food as usual. Service is good and the atmosphere is good but just think about where you are seating a couple in relation to a table of loud chaps. Not offensive just loud. Perhaps we should have asked to move.

Unique and tasty twist on Indian cuisine. A cut above your average Indian restaurant with really great vegetarian alternatives, not just a few frozen beans and potatoes in a sauce. Been a few times when I’m town and always surprised and impressed.

We had a lovely meal for our anniversary. The food was delicious and very well presented, the staff were attentive and polite. We will definitely be going back in the future.

My friends raved about this restaurant. Modern made up dishes. I had king prawn and scallops starter dish was ok. Main I had lamb biryani. It was served on a steel platter food got cold quickly. Plenty of rice not much lamb. Not cooked as stated on the menu. My wife asked for a medium chicken curry. This arrived in a bowl with rice in the bowl. She said the gravy was pretty tasteless but very chilli hot . She couldn't eat it. The restaurant was very busy so I didn't complain about the food. To be honest I couldn't wait to get out. Certainly not worth the hour drive each way.

Really interesting and different menu although everything you would expect to see on an Indian menu is also on there. Fantastic prawns, large, succulent and delicious, plus very good service.

Completely delicious. Beautifully presented. Very good service. Will definitely be going back.

This is my favourite Indian restaurant ever. It’s worth the 52 mile round trip and consistently never fails to disappoint me. The service is great too. I went for my birthday. I have come here for my birthday for quite a few years.

A little noisy (we were in the middle and you are side by side with other couples separated by a screen, which was a bit distracting) but fantastic food. Loved the completely different menu from other indians. Its relatively expensive, but well worth it. Excellent and different vegetarian options!

Lovely decor. Food ok. Husband enjoyed his. Way too rushed. Hadn’t even sat down and menu handed to us. Over attentive. Felt watched with every mouthful. Constant stream of waiters and waitresses wandering past watching. I’d not even finished my mouthful and plate taken away and asked if I’d finished Way too over priced for a very rushed evening out

Absolutely love this restaurant. Food is amazing. My partner had a king prawn dish and I had a vegetarian option (even though I am not vegetarian) and both were delicious. I especially enjoyed the date and ginger naan bread. Service was good, efficient and discreet. Looking forward to my next visit!

Went for valentines night and it was Best Indian Meal Ever! The flavours were just incredible and the dishes really unusual. The “normals”’were there but you don’t need them when there was so much to choose from. Attentive service also. Genuinely not tasted Indian food like it before

We had a lovely dinner for two here, I love the low lighting and the attentive staff. The poppadoms were served with a selection of delicious sauces which we both very much enjoyed. Our mains were exquisitely cooked, melt-in-the-mouth and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

Another excellent evening at Annoka. We had mixed platters meat and fish which were outstanding, followed by 4 main course all amazing especially the lamb dishes - amazing. Staff were super attentive,,chatty and personal. THANKYOU FOR A WONDERFUL NIGHT 😊

If you want a top Indian Restaurant experience this is the place to go! Returned with my very significant other after way too long and the service, food and atmosphere is still top notch!

Excellent, it's a regular location for us, just superb 👌

This has always been our fav restaurant in Salisbury! Food is always amazing but the service is getting worse on each visit! Our waiter who's the tall slim one was soooo miserable and unhelpful! Leaning over each of us whilst we were eating and asking us to pass him the plates of others! Surely that's his job? He was so miserable that it stopped us from ordering extra drinks as he treated us like we were a burden! Unfortunately this isn't the first time he's served us, we keep going back as we love the food but the staff really are quite rude! Not sure if it's changed hands as the service used to be impeccable! Out of our group of 8, only 1 said they'd return to the atmosphere from the staff!

Anniversary dinner for two. No doubt the menu is excellent and the food was very good. Waiting staff were attentive and prompt. starters, mains and wine £77 so reasonable too. My wife wasnt overly impressed by her chicken main, my vegetarian main course was very good. We were happy when we left but not WOWED!

Just superb. Menu is essentially a large selection of Chef's specials, with the option to cook you one of the standard repertoire dishes on request. Pricing is restaurant level rather than curry house level, but no higher than that, and strikingly reasonable in the premium dishes – and worth every penny. Actual food wonderful all round, from the more exotic dishes to the biriyani and poppadom pickles, the latter clearly made in-house. And absolutely no bad effects. The people are lovely and seemed actually interested in the fare they offer, especially the Maitre d' who I think must be the proprietor. *Highly* recommended.

Well worth a visit. Top notch cuisine.

Had meal here with former colleagues. Very enjoyable meal in a pleasant environment . I have eaten here previously and will continue to do so.

kind and attentive service. Delicious authentic indian food that makes you want to go back for more. The take away option is a treat.

Excellent set lunch both value and quality, thoroughly enjoyed.

Met friends for a lunchtime menu. Food tasty but too prissy for my liking, its Indian, have had better portion sizes at better prices in my local area, Im not from Salisbury. Service is good but they keep pestering for more drinks. Yes we did tip.

Delicious modern Indian food in a nice setting and great service. Highly recommended and would visit again next time I was in the area

Good food, lunchtime menu is great value. Four happy diners.

Wonderful meal would recommend 😋

Had a lovely meal waiters where really nice would definitely visit again

Was lunch time so not too busy. Great food

This is a wonderful restaurant, with excellent food from a varied and original menu, attentive, friendly service and a comfortable ambience. Apart from the usual bow to British tastes which means that the tastier, moister cuts of chicken are sidelined in favour of the drier, blander breast meat (an extremely frustrating aspect of almost all Asian restaurants in the UK) the food was outstanding and I would certainly recommend Anokaa as one of the very best Indian restaurants it has ever been my pleasure to attend. The only reason I have given it four stars instead of five is the location. Salisbury is one of the worst cities I have ever encountered for parking and it took me 40 minutes to find somewhere for the car, which rather took the edge off the experience. Even the car park I used had single line traffic lights in and out, multiple and deep potholes, spaces that were too small for you to park the car and actually open the door, vans parked across two spaces and a huge queue to exit. I spent an hour in the restaurant and 75 minutes parking the car and then exiting the car park.

Authentic Indian food, absolutely delicious. A bit pricey but worth it!

Very good service, food was excellent would visit again

This is a different type of Indian restaurant. There are traditional dishes but this place excels at some fusion dishes and mixing ingredients. Food and service was first class and a great evening was had by our party of 6

First Class, the service and food are amazing. I've finally found an Indian restaurant that delivers everything it promises. it's slightly more expensive than others but worth every penny.

We opted for the early evening special and were not disappointed.Menu was original. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Excellent all round.

Just keep going back. Always superb food and service every time. Very glad to have this restaurant in Salisbury.

Excellent atmos and dine in experience or fantastic takeaway. Best Indian in Salisbury.

Food was excellent, magician was brilliant, a fabulous evening

Excellent food and service as always

This is by far the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. Its been exceedingly good for at least a decade, maybe more. I always eat in the restaurant as I think you may lose some of the quality if you were to take it home

Best curry house I've ever eaten in food is exceptional with a really great service. Several friends from outside the Salisbury area have also eaten there and have all said it's the best curry they've ever had

Excellent food and good service. We have been here several times and have always had the best food and service. Would highly recommend.

Really delicious and flavoursome food. Both our curries were fantastic and the pickle tray had some great dips in it. Service was efficient too

Early evening menu, 2 courses from a limited selection and a glass of wine. Pretty good deal at £17 and a bit. Spicing was light with nothing overwhelming, if anything it could be a bit more definite. Fish, duck, chicken and lamb selection all tender and sufficient. Add a pint of Hopback Summer Lightning, as the wife downed both glasses of wine, and you come to £40 for two.

Really nice place. Had a sheek kebab starter which was pleasantly spicy. Followed by chicken madras which was lovely and spicy with good flavours. Good service as well.

Excellent service and delicious food. We really enjoyed our meals at Anokka and will definitely be returning to this stylish and contemporary Indian restaurant.

Very good restaurant and had a very good time. I recommend this restaurant and very good environment. I rank this the best restaurant in Salisbury and will not disappoint you.

Outstanding! Amazing food, lovely evening. Were it not for an iPhone camera issue I would have shared a well presented Chicken Madras dish. Will definitely be back :)

One of the best Indians I’ve been to. Food is incredible with a great atmosphere too. Even with lots of customers the service was great and the staff are very welcoming. Highly recommend

Staff were excellent, attentive but not overwhelming. Food was sensational. A delectably divine selection, all dishes were cooked to perfection. 10/10, will be dining again.

Delicious food with a nice atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and we're happy to help us with our queries,

Birthday dinner on a Thursday. The birthday boy chose Anokaa for his dinner and so a table for six was booked. On arrival there were a number of diners, but plenty of staff to look after everyone. We had the compulsory popadoms and pickles only...

My 2nd time to eat here and i love this resto. I haven't tasted most of their food but the lamb that I ordered was really good and the portion is more than enough.

Exceptionally good curry, really delicious - what a place

Amazing food ! So yummy and the service is perfect.

Not your regular curry house. Different dishes, presented well and delicious. Best curry I have had in years. Amazing. Also Salisbury is an early crowd. Bust at 8 but very quiet by 10!

Had an amazing lunch. Definitely recommend their rogan josh lamb shanks.

First time to this restaurant . Lovely decor and friendly staff . The menu has lots of different items on that I had never seen before which was great. Recommend the lamb kebabs to start- nice and spicy . Also the lamb shank dish ....

Easily the best curry I’ve ever had x3 All members of our party of three confirmed this was BY FAR the best curry of our lives. Highly recommend the pistachio chicken, lamb shank, the seafood platter.

Haven't been here for a few years now but it really hasn't changed still excellent quality food and service and who doesn't love a bit of close up magic from the in house entertainment! If you are staying in Salisbury go here for dinner you will not be disappointed!

Great food with lots of variety to satisfy anyones appetite.
